Whoosh!!!
One shichen had passed...
Phew!!!
"My psychic energy has increased by more than eight parts, and a little more will probably be full," Zheng-Fu said with a satisfied smile. But he suddenly sensed that the monster beasts all looked strangely quiet as if something bad was going on.
And it was exactly what Zheng-Fu thought because now the mission of the four mysterious people had been completed. Their mission was to find gems that were used to open the dimension gate at the heart of the ancient ruins, and the destination of this dimension gate was the Demon Tribe's land.
Therefore, they were preparing to set up a troops' procession and summoned reinforcements from their dimension gate located on the other side of the ancient ruins within this cave.
"This is too strange. There must be something going on inside. And it doesn't seem like a good thing either!"
Zheng-Fu had a disapproving expression, said in an indescribable worried tone, and stared seriously at the ancient ruins in front of him. And at that moment...
Zing!!!
Bang!!! Boooooooom!!!
As Zheng-Fu was staring through the spell curtain, a purple beam of light suddenly flashed out from within the ancient ruins and violently crashed into Zheng-Fu's spell curtain, causing a loud explosion sound in the area where the purple light was emitted, along with the cloud of smoke.
"It's really the Divine Emperor stage," Zheng-Fu said, staring at the smoke formed by the purple light hitting the spell curtain.
Huh huh huh!!!
"It's true as Master Feng-Jiang-Mou said. This spell curtain is really strong," said a mysterious black-skinned and red-eyed young man with a smile at the corners of his mouth. Before he took a look around the spell curtain and stopped at the meditating Zheng-Fu.
Huh...?
"That so-weak human! Why did the atmosphere around him look so creepy? Or is he the strongest of humans? But he looks so young, and his energy level is very low. Huh... I doubt I'm overthinking it," said the mysterious young man with a slight frown as he could feel the bad atmosphere from Zheng-Fu.
Thump!!!
"Xi-Gul, Master Feng-Jiang-Mou ordered me to summon you. Hurry up... Ah! The atmosphere around that human child, why does it look so creepy?" another black-robed man who had jumped to a stop beside Xi-Gul spoke in shock after seeing Zheng-Fu.
"You feel the same as me, right, Re-Lin!!?"
"Um... Looks like the situation is not going well. So, hurry and report to Master Feng-Jiang-Mou about that human child!" The other mystery man felt the threat coming from Zheng-Fu, so he thought of going back and reporting to the other mysterious man, who appeared to be the troops' commander on this mission.
"You hurriedly go first, and I'll keep an eye on your back."
"Alright, I'll hurry to go and bring back the troops."
Swish!!!
As soon as the black-robed man finished speaking, his body instantly disappeared into the darkness. The only thing left was a young man named Xi-Gul. Xi-Gul's expression was slightly tense as he looked at Zheng-Fu, who was sitting cross-legged and staring at him behind the spell curtain.
Zheng-Fu was still sitting like that because he was in doubt about what he was seeing. The young man in front of him could both be called a human and a demon at the same time because even though he had human-like limbs, his body and face looked different.
Besides, he also had a mouth full of sharp teeth. And his hands had terrifyingly extended claws. Looking at it all together, Zheng-Fu came to the conclusion that this young man must be from the Demon Tribe because if it was the Monster Demon Tribe, he had to have an animal-like body.
"That's right, kid. That man is from the Demon Tribe and is also a noble bloodline of the Demon Tribe."
Suddenly, the elder's voice inside the Heavenly Flora Garden sounded after Zheng-Fu thought to himself about the origin of the dark-skinned young man in front of him.
Huh...?
"Oldy, you said he was from the Demon Tribe just now? So how did they come here?" Zheng-Fu became curious and asked the elder.
"That's right, kid. As for how they got here... You must be the one to ask them because I don't know either. What I know is that they probably live in the same place as Demon Tribe or semi-demon races somewhere in this small world."
"Sigh... This guy is no use at all. Oldy, you don't know anything at all," hearing the elder's answer, Zheng-Fu immediately teased and annoyed to provoke the elder's mood.
"You!!! I have told you so many things. Your elders don't even know about what I have told you. Yo... you... You dare to think I don't know anything?
Huh! Well... Next time, don't expect to learn anything from me, ungrateful kid!!!" the elder said indignantly before he went silent.
"Huh huh huh!!! Even if you don't tell me, I'll make you tell me," Zheng-Fu said with a sly smile. Then he turned to look at the dark-skinned young man and said, "Hey! Are you from the Demon Tribe?" Zheng-Fu asked, smiling at Xi-Gul.
Ah!!!
Xi-Gul's face immediately turned into a heavy shock after Zheng-Fu greeted him, for he was right now using a high-level camouflage skill to hide. Aside from the advanced Divine Emperor stage cultivators, it was difficult for others to see and perceive him. Therefore, when Zheng-Fu greeted him, he had a shocked expression.
'How could he see me? My camouflage skills are all perfect; mere humans can't see me,' thought Xi-Gul in his mind with a paranoid expression and beads of sweat trickling down his forehead.
Previously, his expression and feelings were filled with a bloodthirsty desire to kill people. But now, he felt that he had made a very big mistake by being here. If he had believed Feng-Jiang-Mou from the start, he would not have encountered a situation that made him want to run away and caused him to be embarrassed.
"Hey!!! So, you come from the Demon Tribe or not? Then how did you get here?" Zheng-Fu continued to ask, seeing that Xi-Gul had gone silent.
'Damn!!! He already knew my true self. What should I do? I can't go out and also can't back down. Damn it!!!' the young man, Xi-Gul, became even more stressed when he could not do anything.
He could not go out and deal with Zheng-Fu because of the spell curtain blocking him. And he was afraid of looking shameful to his troops if he were to retreat. The young man, Xi-Gul, had a hard time deciding which path to take. But suddenly...
Zing! Zing! Zing!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
"Are you alright, Xi-Gul!?"
Suddenly, three black shadow figures soared out of the ancient ruins and came to a stop next to Xi-Gul, who had a serious expression on his face, for he could not do anything. The first one who asked Xi-Gul was the black-robed man who had left earlier to report to the mission team commander, Feng-Jiang-Mou.
"What happened, Xi-Gul? Why does your face look so pale?" another black-robed man beside Re-Lin, or the man who reported it, asked after seeing Xi-Gul's face.
"Um… Well…"
"Hey! Can you answer me now? Do you guys come from the Demon Tribe? Can someone answer me? Whether it's the one who's been there or the new ones who have just arrived, please tell me, is it yes or no?" Zheng-Fu continued to ask, ignoring that there were three more guys from the Demon Tribe coming. And his question made the three who had just arrived immediately have their expressions change.
Ah!!!
"How can he see us?!" the first demon who asked Xi-Gul just now spoke up in shock.
"That's what I want to tell you. That child was able to see me while I was still using the high-level camouflage skill. And he also asked about our Demon Tribe," Xi-Gul explained the reason for his expression. The appearance of the three had made him feel much more relaxed because now it was not just him that felt bad; others felt the same way when they were faced with this kind of situation.
"We can't stay here any longer. Once that bastard knows who we are, we should leave as soon as possible," Feng-Jiang-Mou's voice sounded anxious after he checked Zheng-Fu's energy level, which he could not sense right now.
Even he, who had reached the seventh level of the Divine Emperor stage, could not verify Zheng-Fu's exact level. Besides, while examining Zheng-Fu, he could also feel the intense psychic killing around Zheng-Fu. And the only thing he could think of right now was that the four of their abilities could not compare with Zheng-Fu's.
Therefore, Feng-Jiang-Mou ordered the three of them to immediately return to their original positions and moved the Demon Forces to the dimension gate, the entrance to the Demon Tribe's land, ignoring Zheng-Fu.
"We understand!!!"
Swish!!!
Without any further delay, the three of them hurriedly disappeared into the darkness, returning without hesitation or thought to the ancient ruins, especially Xi-Gul, who had already thought of escaping from here. He did not hesitate to rush out first. The only one left was Feng-Jiang-Mou, who was watching over their backs.
"Human! We're really from the Demon Tribe, as you suspected. And we don't think of hurting anyone here; we're just passing through. So, then I want you to let go of this matter," Feng-Jiang-Mou said after the three left.
His words seemed to be humble but still quite harsh, fitting his identity as Demon Commander number twenty-five of the demon army. But he had to take into account the mission that had been assigned before anything else. So, he had to give Zheng-Fu a little humility.
"It really is the Demon Tribe. Um... So how did you guys get to this place?" Zheng-Fu nodded, satisfied with Feng-Jiang-Mou's answer. He did not pay any attention to the other party's tone and continued to ask questions he wanted to know the answer to.
"I don't need to tell you about that. Just knowing that you and I have never met before is enough!" Feng-Jiang-Mou had a calm and disinterested expression as he replied to Zheng-Fu's second question.
"It's alright to let me do that. But I want to know how you guys got here, even though you probably lived in the distant Hell Region," Zheng-Fu still wanted to know how these Demon Tribe guys got here. And he was also very eager because he wanted to go to that continent to meet Qi-Er.
"You know so much. But I'll still repeat my original answer. And if you still don't stop asking and want to know more, let me warn you that humans will not live happily ever after," Feng-Jiang-Mou said, unleashing his psychic killing on Zheng-Fu through the spell curtain.
Whoosh!!!
